I guess it's not a mystery anymore. So much for my conspiracy theory. The A-Team dug deep enough and ID'd all of the major players. Names, IP addresses, facebook sites, etc. The full "reveal" document can be found here: http://pastebin.com/iVujX4TR

You might at least have posted a spoiler warning.............you know how I love conspiracy theories?

If you cannot do someone any good: don't do them any harm....
As long as you did this to one of these, the least of my little ones............you did it unto Me.
What profiteth a man if he gains the entire World at the expense of his immortal soul?

In a Democracy it is the majority (stupid people) who elect the leaders..........and guess what happens?

Without getting into a definition of primary elections or caucuses-I would surmise that the stupid people are mostly lead by media attention given to the participants seeking election. People are only as smart as the information they have, imo. Not like most people would take the time to make sure their sources of information are reliable, including those in government.

I couldn't agree more. Doesn't matter if it was a group of people working for an agency, or what I think it was, which is just a bunch of kids having some lulz to make themselves feel important. It will strengthen support to remove civil liberties on the internets for US citizens.

Digital attacks are likely to be thrown under the "terror" umbrella too because it is convenient. Thus, you're not throwing a hacker in prison for live. You're imprisoning a terrorist.

He said it better than me.

I think you're giving too much credit where it isn't due, even with 4/7/9/420chons all working together AnonIB took ages to bring down, and it certainly wasn't a result of a low orbit idiot causer, it was by finally getting authority involved. "LOLZ, I can't reach it, we are victorious, werlegionz, lololol." The last nifty thing any chon did was the '09 Time online top 100 poll. Just my opinion, though.

I will say this though, for the Time thing and the timing in particular. It was highly ironic that a man who sells people's personal information to corporations was made man of the year, and the man who freely exposes corrupt corporation (and government) information to the public was thrown in jail.

Personally, I have been getting quite a kick out of their antics... Even if they are an agency sponsored group, they are extremely entertaining.

I'm finding all of these groups' actions entertaining.

Anything interesting happen recently? I've kept up with some things, most of them are just the things everyone knows about - like what makes it to the news, but I find it difficult to keep up with everything.
